People are always telling me to smile, like smiling is going to just take away all the hurt and pain. Well I’ve tried that I’ve tried hiding my sorrows and covering the sadness in smiles and what I’ve learned is that when it hurts this much inside your heart always has a way of showing it no matter how many masks you wear.
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.

Okay, you do that. Say that to me, threaten me. But we both know, that you won’t ever do that. Because regardless, I’m too closely associated to you and you’ve been the bitchier one. At least you were. You of all people know that if you do that, it’ll just taint your little image further. We both know, that regardless of where I now stand, I used to be close to you and I have the ability to make you look bad. 

In fact, do that, you’ll look bad without me doing anything. 

And that, you can’t handle more than anything. 

So go ahead, tell me more. We both know they’re just empty words. 

I’m a horrible student.

I’ve had what, 3 days, to get my work done. And I haven’t done anything. Okay, maybe I’ve done half an intro, but I have 4 assignments! Cue warning bells!

And I’m still on tumblr. Okay, okay, 5 minutes. 

meh. 

:/

But in the end it wasn’t up to me. The big things never are. Birth, I mean, and death. And love. And what love bequeaths to us before we’re born.
